Description

This is a game for 2 to 6 players using 36 cards that quantify the abilities of famous Samurais. The ability categories are Recruitment cost, Dignity points, Military strength, Trickery strength, and Card number. In this game, players recruit their own Samurai during the Recruitment Round, and use those Samurai to win more battles in the Battles Round wins the game. During the Recruitment Round, players can recruit a masterless Samurai card from the field by contributing a total Dignity points equal to or greater than the card's Recruitment cost. Players can use the Dignity points of the Samurai card only once by putting the Samurai card in their hand on the field. In this way, become a masterless Samurai card by putting it on the field from your hand. During the Battles Round, all players simultaneously declare and play one of their Samurai cards, choosing to fight by Military or Trickery. The declared battle method wins if more players choose it. If the number is equal, the declared battle method of the player who played the Samurai card with the highest card number wins. Once the battle method is decided, the Samurai card with the higher Military strength wins if Military was declared, or the Samurai card with the higher Trickery strength wins if Trickery was declared. The winer gains 1 victory point and discards all the Samurai cards played in the battle. The player who gets the most victory points wins the game.
